Translation critique please

The following is from Familia Romana, Chapter 24. Some criticism and advice based on it would be appreciated. Thanks.

LATIN ORIGINAL: Syra iūxtā lectum ad latus puerī laevum cōnsīdit eumque sīc cōnsōlātur: "Nōlī trīstis esse quod hīc intus cubās: immō laetāre tē nōn inclūsum esse in cubiculō ut frātrem tuum! Nec Mārcō licet cum aliīs puerīs lūdere."

TRANSLATION: Syra sat next to the bed by the boy's left side and consoled him in this way: "Don't be sad because you lie here in bed: on the contrary, be glad you are not shut up in the bedroom like your brother. Marcus is not allowed to play with other children."

LATIN ORIGINAL: Quīntus: "Is nōn aegrōtat nec dolōrēs patitur."

TRANSLATION: Quintus: "He's not ill nor does he suffer pain."

LATIN ORIGINAL: Syra: "Etsī valet, certē tergī dolōrēs passus est."

TRANSLATION: Syra: "Even if he is well, certainly he suffered back pain."

So, Thanks for reading this. Can you point out some weak areas I might concentrate on next?

[thesaurus]

It all looks fine to me, except that it should be "sits" and "consoles" in the present tense.

Oh yea, quite right. Thanks, Thesaurus.
